Configure Visibility

Events carry a visibility property to control where content appears.

Visibility options

• public – visible in feeds and search.
• unlisted – not listed but accessible via permalink.
• private – kept in local tools only.
• secret – encrypted or restricted projections.

Set defaults

Define a default in otsorc.yml:

defaults:
  visibility: unlisted

Override per item

Pass a flag to the CLI when creating or importing:

otso publish note.md --visibility private

Effects

• Only public items are syndicated or exposed via APIs.
• Search indexes exclude private and secret content.
• Changing visibility emits a new event, allowing audit of who saw what.
